Mei Heong Yuen Dessert (ION Orchard)

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert 味香园甜品, has it roots connected to the iconic FARMER BRAND groundnuts, and is the brainchild of Connie and Clara Lee, daughters of Mei Heong Yuen’s founder. It specializes in different varieties of pastes and steamed egg pudding. Its peanut paste is fragrant and delicately grounded to give a smooth texture with no presence of any peanut bits. Sufficiently sweet, without being cloying, it offers to be a great dessert for rounding up a satisfying meal. Its walnut paste, another favourite on the menu, is a silky-smooth cream that will soothe craving taste buds. The other two “heavenly kings” are sesame and almond pastes. For the health conscious, there is also the sugar-free almond paste to whet their appetites. On a hot day, cold desserts like the mango with pomelo and sago is a sure winner for quenching desiccated throats with the tangy blend of cool mango puree, pomelo and sago. The Snow Ice from Taiwan is another refreshing cold dessert that comes in thin smooth mouth-feel sheets that reminiscent fine powered snow. Recently, Mei Heong Yuen Dessert is selected as one of the favourite restaurants in Asia. It is recognized as a recommended choice in the Singapore “Ice Kachang” category as part of CNNGo’s Best Eats 2010 Awards.
